Synopsis

All her parents wanted was for Eryn to live a normal life...

The Delacroix family is taking the blame, but Eryn knows the truth. Something stalks the night. Wade, the police chief's son and Redgrave High's resident hottie, warns her the Delacroix are dangerous. But then so is Eryn - in fact, she's lethal.

But she can't help falling for one of the Delacroix boys, dark, brooding - human Alec. And then it all goes bad.

A normal life? Now that's the real fairytale.

My Review

This Is One Of The Most Original, Beautifully Written Stories I've Ever Read. It Keeps You In A Trance As You Read Page After Page Of This Amazing Book! It's Dark Moonlight, Gothic Style Immediately Pulled Me In And Would Not Let Me Go. Lia And Alice Are Very Well-Written. They Are Two Twin Sisters Who Have Just Come To the Realization That They Are On The Opposing Sides Of An Ancient Prophecy. This Brings A Whole New Meaning To The Evil Twin Theory! It's Very Easy To Picture Them As Real People. The Very Beginning Of This Book Pulls At You, Scares You, And Enthralls You As Lia Leads You Through Her Father's Funeral. From Then On You're Hooked. I Actually Loved The Sisters So Much That I Found It Hard To Just Side With The Good Sister. It's Easy To Feel For Alice And Want Her To Succeed As Well. As The Story Moves On And Reaches The Ending You're Left Craving For More. It's Not Necessarily A Cliff Hanger But It Is Clear That There Is More To This Tale. Which Is Very Awesome And True! Prophecy Is The First Of Three Books. Michelle's Debut Novel Is Sure To Be A Smash Success With Young Adult Readers Across The World.

So, I Was Waiting Till I Got 50 Followers For This Giveaway But I've Had 49 For The Last Two Days!! LOL!! So I Decided To Just Get On With It! The Book I'm Giving Away Of Course Is Prophecy Of The Sisters by Michelle Zink.

The twins are part of an ancient prophecy that has turned generations of sisters against each other. To escape from a dark fate and to remain in the arms of her beloved boyfriend James, Lia must end the prophecy before her sister does.

Prophecy of the Sisters is the first of three books.

The Infernal Devices is a trilogy of prequels to the bestselling Mortal Instruments series. While The Mortal Instruments is set largely in present-day Manhattan, The Infernal Devices takes us back one hundred and forty years to the heart of Victorian England, exploring an earlier era in the history of the Shadowhunters — a time before the Accords, when Downworlder and Shadowhunters were at each other's throats. A time when orphaned teenager Tessa discovers she isn't human after all, but a warlock, capable of changing her shape to resemble anyone she desires to be. Tessa must use her power to descend into London's supernatural Downworld, where vampires stalk the gaslit streets of London, werewolves slink in the shadowy lanes of Whitechapel, and warlocks hold masquerade balls for demons and Downworlders in opium-smoke-filled ballrooms. But living in Downworld isn't simple — Tessa has to learn to trust her natural enemies, the demon-killing Shadowhunters, if she ever wants to control her powers and find her brother. Torn between the darkly gorgeous and devoted Will, a Shadowhunter hiding a deadly secret, and the brooding Jem, whose addiction to a demon drug is slowly destroying him, Tessa must draw on all her strength to save her brother and keep herself alive in this deadly new world.

Wyldcliffe Abbey School for Young Ladies, housed in a Gothic mansion on the bleak northern moors, is elite, expensive, and unwelcoming. When Evie Johnson is torn away from her home by the sea to become the newest scholarship student, she is more isolated than she could have dreamed. Strict teachers, snobbish students, and the oppressive atmosphere of Wyldcliffe leave Evie drowning in loneliness.

Evie's only lifeline is Sebastian, a rebellious, mocking, dangerously attractive young man she meets by chance. As Evie's feelings for Sebastian grow with each secret meeting, she starts to fear that he is hiding something about his past. And she is haunted by glimpses of a strange, ghostly girl—a girl who is so eerily like Evie, she could be a sister. Evie is slowly drawn into a tangled web of past and present that she cannot control. And as the extraordinary, elemental forces of Wyldcliffe rise up like the mighty sea, Evie is faced with an astounding truth about Sebastian, and her own incredible fate.

Eager to learn everything she can about her new abilities as an Immortal, Ever turns to her beloved Damen to show her the way. But just as her powers are increasing, Damen’s are waning.

In an attempt to save him, Ever travels to the magical dimension of Summerland, where she learns the secrets of Damen’s tortured past; a past which he has always kept hidden from her. But in her quest to cure Damen, Ever discovers an ancient text that details the workings of time. Now Ever must choose between turning back the past and saving her family from the accident that claimed their lives—or staying in the present and saving Damen, who grows sicker every day...

My Review

This Book Isn't At All What I Expected. This Book Is Really Different From Evermore. I Was Blown Away And Left Breathless After The Emotional Rollercoaster I Went Through While Reading This Book. At First, Ever And Damen Have This Amazing Relationship That Leaves You Craving For One. Then, Out Of Nowhere, Noel Makes A 180 So Fast I Dropped Out Of The Seat I Was Sitting In And Fell Flat On the Floor. The Writing Is Very Fast- Paced. Before I Knew What Happened I Was At The Ending, And VERY Confused. I Understand What Noel Is Trying To Express In The Plot Of This Story But I was Truly Stuck On Stupid For The Most Part. Eventually, The Book Came Around-Not Full Circle, But Interestingly So. Towards The Ending, You Get Hit With Mostly All The Info You Were Missing And It Suddenly All Makes Sense. This Book Does Have Some Similarities With Other YA Book Series Out There But Is Not By Any Means The Same. I Believe You Should Read This Book And Decide For Yourself What You Believe! I Will Definately Read The Follow-Up Book Shadowland, Because Noel Truly Knows How To Rip The Carpet Out From Underneath Your Feet!
